Rectal temp experience in UK

Hi all,

I would like to know if anybody had any experience of temperature taken rectally in a GP practice or in the Hospital in UK.

I would like to write a story about a spicy doctor visit for an English girl, and I would like to know some experiences you had also back in the days, just to make more realistic as possible!

thanks for your help!

I've heard that rectal temps in the UK are never done. In other European countries, they're the norm.

They may be done on hospitalized patients but otherwise they are very rare in the U.K.

I have two British colleagues, very cute women. Would love to ask them this question but that might be the end of my employment. One of them has the roundest tightest bottom, but I can only undress it in my mind.

@RichardAsni that would be very helpful... But maybe it's better if you keep your job!

Anyway I think rectal temperature, like injectios BTW, were a very rare things in UK!
